"Are you saying that his brother, Cao Ke, is much harder to deal with than him?"
Jufeng returned to the headquarters of Zongheng Express in Outer Space, looking at the intelligence that Liu Gulang had handed to him.
The photo on the document depicted a young man exuding masculinity. Jufeng studied the sharp angles of his face and, despite never having met him, already sensed that he would be a formidable opponent.
Liu Gulang nodded, his expression serious. "The prince of Huankezhao, Shangguan Wangyu, rarely shows himself, so there are very few rumors about him in the outside world. As a result, people often overlook his existence. However, Cao Ke frequently navigates between the Suihuan Army, business, and government, acting more like a pawn for Shangguan Wangyu to draw everyone's attention. To represent Shangguan Wangyu is no small feat."
"But there is one point that works in our favor: he is an upright person. Especially when it comes to women, although he has long favored Miss Jiang, he has never crossed any boundaries. Moreover, regarding Wen Yun's situation, he has issued a strict order to his brother—only to confine him and not to harm him. So for now, Wen Yun should be safe."
Jufeng couldn't help but laugh at this. He scoffed, "What does it matter if he’s a moralist? That only reinforces the judgment that he is a devil; at most, he's just satisfying his own vanity."
Since they didn't have to worry about Wen Yun for the time being, they could wait until the banquet to rescue him. By then, they would also need to get Jiang Xue and Wen Yun out of this dangerous place.
However, facing the challenge of escaping later required meticulous planning—there were too many details to consider, and each one was extremely difficult. After all, this was Huankezhao's territory; the disparity in power was too great. Jufeng felt that revealing himself had come at an inopportune time, which he attributed to the person who had been tracking them.
"Do you know who has been investigating me and Chen Tan Hua?" Jufeng rubbed his shoulder and spoke coldly.
Liu Gulang looked at Jufeng's injured shoulder and felt a surge of anger. He had some understanding of Shangguan Wangyu's group and made his judgment.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be one of Shangguan Wangyu's most capable dogs—Hear the Command. This person was previously a member of the Cosmic Police but was expelled due to his erratic and brutal behavior. He then joined the Suihuan Army. Although public opinion on him is extremely low, his abilities are undeniable. He possesses strong interrogation skills and excels in firearms and mecha combat; he was once a student of Universal Hunting and is a Red-Class Mecha Pilot."
Upon hearing this, Jufeng slowly set down the image in his hand, revealing a contemplative expression.
Liu Gulang thought Jufeng was shocked by Hear the Command's identity and called out anxiously, "Brother Jufeng, are you okay?"
Jufeng responded with an "oh," shook his head, and then suddenly smiled. "I just remembered someone from Universal Hunting. It seems our evacuation plan has gained another asset."
Liu Gulang listened in confusion as Jufeng spoke. Seeing that Jufeng wasn't joking made him wonder: did Brother Jufeng have other connections in Outer Space?
But Liu Gulang did not ask, as everything would naturally be revealed in due time.
Jufeng's expression began to relax a bit, and then he instructed Liu Gulang, "Chen Tan Hua has already set off. The Universal Police's assistance is a crucial part of our plan, but before that, we must rely on our own strength to escape this planet. So time is tight and the task is heavy; you need to give your orders quickly. Tell Guo Hua to select important items to take with us; anything we can't take should be destroyed on the spot. Also, family members should leave first. The mecha designed by Sister Xue must be completed on schedule. Success or failure hinges on this one move; otherwise, none of us will make it out alive."
Liu Gulang naturally understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded solemnly. From the very beginning, he had been prepared for sacrifice. To rise above others, one must pay the price, and he was unafraid.
Even though they had already been treated like puppets.
"What do you think Jufeng will do to handle this crisis? Many people are in our hands; he will definitely come to the Hongmen Banquet. I wonder if he foolishly thinks his fate will be like Liu Bang's?"
Shangguan Wangyu stood up and stepped into the sunlight. The Bikini Girl beside him sweetly filled his empty cup with aged wine, then gently kissed his cheek—softly, without daring to act coy—before slowly retreating back to her sisters.
Cao Ke had already changed into casual clothes, looking as if he was about to leave.
"I've looked into some of his information on Earth. This person is brave; so far, there hasn't been anything he hasn't dared to face. Moreover, he has many friends, which has always been key to his victories. I believe he will be fully prepared; it's just a matter of how the story unfolds based on the circumstances at that time."
Although Cao Ke held a high opinion of Jufeng and spoke fairly, there was no trace of seriousness in his demeanor. He had faced many powerful enemies in the past, yet all had fallen before him.
That kind of confidence was built over time; it didn't need to be deliberately expressed but was impossible to ignore.
Shangguan Wangyu pondered for a moment before his tone turned serious as he posed a critical question.
"If Jiang Xue insists on leaving, what do you plan to do? Let her and her companions go, or kill her?"
This question from Shangguan Wangyu was crucial because Cao Ke was someone deeply invested in emotions; even pure feelings between men and women surpassed his own life. Therefore, if Jiang Xue were to threaten with death, his choice could very well affect the outcome of the story.
Cao Ke fell silent; clearly, this question was a difficult dilemma for him.
After a long pause, he finally said, "I only want one outcome. If I cannot choose in the end, then I leave everything to you."
Shangguan Wangyu smiled gradually at the words, realizing that his brother was indeed a trustworthy person.
Cao Ke finished speaking and turned to leave the pool, his figure appearing particularly lonely.
If he were to turn and walk away in front of Jiang Xue, it would become a scar he would carry for life.
However, no matter what, he had to return and complete the defensive design at home. At that time, Jufeng would definitely send someone to rescue Wen Yun. What intrigued Cao Ke was that Jufeng had always relied on friends, but now in Magellanic Star, what cards did he still have to play?
The man who was investigating with him was still the head of the Underworld. In any case, it wouldn’t be civilized; it was a bit of a pity.
What a pity indeed...
